Interface MuleSession

All Superinterfaces:
  Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:
  DefaultMuleSession

    public interface MuleSession

extends Serializable

`MuleSession` is the context in which a request is executed. The session manages the marshalling of events to and from components This object is not usually referenced by client code directly. If needed Components should manage events via the `MuleEventContext` which is obtainable via the `UMOManager` or by implementing `org.mule.api.lifecycle.Callable`.
